NEWARK, NJ — NJ TRANSIT is advising customers of adjustments to Newark Light Rail and bus service in downtown Newark on Thursday, November 3 and Friday, November 4 due to a movie production at Military Park Station.

As a result of the filming, Newark Light Rail will not operate between Newark Penn Station and Orange Street Station and between Newark Penn Station and Broad Street Station on these days. To accommodate customers, alternate bus service will be provided; details are outlined at www.njtransit.com.

In addition, buses that normally operate on Raymond Boulevard will be rerouted to Market Street due to intermittent road closures on Raymond Boulevard between McCarter Highway, Mulberry Street and Broad Street. To minimize delays, the City of Newark has provided NJ TRANSIT with a dedicated bus lane on Market Street.

NJ TRANSIT is posting printed customer service notices and other signage at all Newark Light Rail stations. Additionally, NJ TRANSIT ambassadors or operations personnel will be on-hand at stations with substitute bus service to personally assist customers during peak service times.

Customers are advised of the following temporary service adjustments that will be in effect on Thursday, November 3 and Friday, November 4:

Newark Light Rail – Main Line

There will be no Newark Light Rail service between Newark Penn and Orange Street stations. Newark Light Rail trains will operate only between Orange Street and Grove Street stations. Customers will transfer between bus and light rail service at Orange Street Station.

Frequent bus service will operate both days between Orange Street and Newark Penn stations — making stops at Newark Light Rail stations ONLY — beginning at approximately 4:20 a.m. and ending at approximately 1 a.m. each day.

Newark Penn Station customers will board buses bound for Orange Street in front of Newark Penn Station on Raymond Plaza West, near Greyhound Bus.

As a result of the reroute off of Raymond Boulevard, the following bus stops will be closed on November 3 and 4:
